Seedless table grape variety with long bunches, golden berries with thin skin and crunchy flesh, with a sweet, fresh flavour. Very productive. Grown worldwide (California, Turkey, Iran, Australia, Chile) for fresh consumption, dried raisins (sultanas) and sometimes for neutral white wines. Also known as Thompson Seedless in the United States. One of the oldest cultivated table grape varieties, probably originating from Turkey or Iran.

The wine region of Lavaux

Iconic Vaud vineyard (Switzerland) on terraced slopes along Lake Geneva's north shore, UNESCO-listed in 2007. Chasselas reigns as signature white: fine and delicate with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, white apple, fresh almond and a chalky mineral touch, a taut and straight palate — Swiss soul, for aperitif or fondue. Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and supple Gamay as minority reds. 8 AOCs including prestigious Dezaley and Saint-Saphorin.

The wine region of Vaud

World reference for Chasselas (~60% of the vineyard). Mineral, delicate whites with signature notes of green apple, citrus, white flowers, fresh almond and a saline touch, low acidity and a silky palate. Maximum expression in Lavaux (UNESCO 2007) on Lake Geneva terraces. Also La Côte, Chablais and the iconic Dézaley.

The word of the wine: Muscat blanc à petits grains

A white grape variety cultivated since antiquity on the shores of the Mediterranean, it is considered the noblest of the muscats. It is mainly used to make sweet wines, often from mutage. In France, it is the sole variety used in many natural sweet wines: muscat-de-frontignan, muscat-de-mireval, muscat-de-lunel, muscat-de-saint-jean-de-minervois, muscat-de-beaumes-de-venise, muscat-du-cap-corse. Combined with Muscat d'Alexandrie, it gives Muscat-de-Rivesaltes. It is also used to make sparkling white wines (clairette-de-die; moscato d'asti and asti spumante in Italy) and dry wines (alsace-muscat). Powerfully aromatic and complex, its wines evoke fresh grapes, roses, exotic fruits, citrus fruits and spices.
